Verizon Regional Bargaining Report # 41

The CWA/IBEW Mid-Atlantic Regional Bargaining Committee spent the morning discussing how to move negotiations forward, then met with management for a session that lasted less than 15 minutes. The committee asked for clarification regarding two of the Company’s concessionary proposals regarding notice of technological changes and funding for the training and health care committees. The Bargaining Committee offered changes to two of the Union’s own proposals in hopes of persuading the Company to reciprocate.

Unfortunately the Company’s negotiators had no counterproposals or withdrawals to offer. The parties adjourned for the day but agreed to meet tomorrow.
